Time flies, and time flies to February 8, 1940. This day is the Spring Festival, the most solemn traditional festival of the Chinese nation.

At this time, Shanghai was already able to mass-produce 21-inch black-and-white TV sets. Jiang Qiang could also produce 18-inch color TV sets based on his own skills. Jiang Qiang also ordered 100 units to be sent to the committee.

Jiang Qiang also entrusted Xia Qing to send 50 TV sets, all of which were color TVs, to Changzong, Yan'an, and nearly a thousand TVs to Yunwushan.

Television was invented independently by Philo Farnsworth, Vladimir Sforokin and Baird, but the TVs invented by the three people are different. Baird (his full name is

The television of John Logie Baird is mechanical scanning television, and the television of Philo Farnsworth and Vladimir Sfrogin is electronic television. People usually refer to the Scotsman on October 2, 1925

John Logie Baird "scanned" the image of the puppet in an experiment in London and regarded it as a symbol of the birth of television. He is called the "Father of Television". However, this view has its limitations.

Controversial; because, also in that year, Russian Vladimir Zworykin (who demonstrated his television system to his bosses at Westinghouse) and Ferro in 1927

Farnsworth and Farnsworth also independently invented television.

Although the time was the same, the television systems of John Logie Baird, Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Farnsworth were very different.

Historically, the television system of John Logie Baird was called mechanical television, while the television systems of Vladimir Sfrogin and Philo Farnsworth were called electronic.

TV. This difference is mainly due to the difference in transmission and reception principles.

The first television was launched in 1924, invented by British electronic engineer John Baird. In 1928, the RCA television station in the United States took the lead in broadcasting the first TV series "Felix The Cat". From then on, television began to change human life.

Life, information dissemination and way of thinking. Since then, mankind has entered the TV era. From black and white to color, from analog to digital, from spherical to flat.

The development of television is complicated. Many people were doing the same research at almost the same period. In 1928, Baird's company produced the Baird C-type TV, which was the world's first mass-produced TV.

In 1954, the Texas Instrument Company (RCA) of the United States developed the first all-transistor television receiver RCACT-100. This television used the NTSC system and was sold at Westinghouse Electric in the United States for US$1,000. At that time,

Television picture tubes were very expensive, and RCA was losing money on every TV, but when new models came on the market, they recovered twice as much profit in a short period of time.

This is also the twelfth Spring Festival that Jiang Qiang has experienced since traveling through time. Just like last year, Shandong People's Broadcasting Station staged a Spring Festival Gala that lasted for more than 4 hours on the night of New Year's Eve. Not only the whole of Shandong can be broadcast on closed-circuit TV, cinemas,

Halls and other facilities are used to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and simultaneous news broadcasts are also broadcast to the world through broadcast stations.

With the experience of the last time, the quality of this year's Spring Festival Gala has been further improved. Various programs are brilliant, full of tears and laughter, and won the applause from the beginning to the end.

Even the Chairman of the Chongqing Committee was watching the Shandong Spring Festival Gala with his whole family on New Year's Eve. The Chairman said, "Nang Xipi, this Jiang Qiang really knows how to do things. He can even do things with the TV. I

It can be seen thousands of miles away from Shandong, this guy is really a mystery."

Jinan Film Studio released "Fist of Heroes", "Japanese Spy", "Loyal Soul", "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers", "Dancing Girl Tears", "Defending Hometown", "Legend of Yunwu Mountain" and "Heroes" during the Spring Festival.

"The Phenom" and other new Lunar New Year movies.

These color sound films are not only popular in theaters in major cities in China, but also simultaneously released in the United States. Hello everyone is really good. When Jiang Qiang earns a lot of gold and silver, he will naturally not be stingy with money, no matter in foreign countries

Enterprises, enterprises and institutions within the jurisdiction, and the military have all issued a wave of year-end bonus benefits.

For a time, it received rave reviews, and there were constant laughter at home and abroad. Countless people were grateful for Jiang Qiang’s gift, and their hearts were full of hope and belief. Through these routine operations, Jiang Qiang really improved his sense of presence and reputation.

At the same time, it earned a lot of box office revenue.

Before the Spring Festival, the transportation to the enemy-occupied areas was finally completed. Even if the little devil wanted to work as a foreigner, he had to find a way. After five months of marathon maritime transportation, the final statistics of the number of refugees from the enemy-occupied areas entering the Shandong Military Region were as high as several million.

Among them, there are more than 2.8 million women, children, old and young, accounting for 21% of the total population.

The adult labor force is just over 1 million, accounting for less than 10%. There is no way. Now the Nationalist Government and the Japanese are frantically arresting young men everywhere. The vast majority of young men are either forced to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, or they are caught in various places.

Construction of fortifications, coal mining and road construction.

In order to resettle these large influx of refugees, Jiang Qiang spent an astronomical amount of financial, material and manpower. If it weren't for the massive blood transfusions from the United States, even Jiang Qiang's huge income from Myanmar, Xinjiang, and Afghanistan would not be enough.

Can't live.

In particular, the crazy Japs released bacterial weapons and tortured the refugees in various ways, doubling the cost of epidemic prevention and medical treatment. However, there must be gains with every loss, even though Jiang Qiang spent money on rations, medicines and wealth that even a little Japs would find unbelievable.

, but it gained a population of nearly 400, although women, children, old and young accounted for the vast majority.

At this point, the population of the Huaxia Huben Military District reached more than 22 million, and the war potential has increased unprecedentedly. After the Spring Festival celebrations, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Qiang took a helicopter in casual clothes and arrived at Putai County, located at the northernmost tip of the defense zone.

After five months of "peaceful coexistence" with the Japanese, spring has come, the vast ice and snow have begun to melt, and it's time for the Shandong Army to come out and stretch their muscles again.

The main purpose of Jiang Qiang's visit to Putai County today is to survey the terrain. Peaceful days cannot last forever. Even if he doesn't go out to fight the Japs, the Japs will come sooner or later. Jiang Qiang launched the autumn offensive and fought several brutal and bloody battles.

The urban street fighting, with its strong force value and disparity in battle loss ratio, completely shattered the Japanese aggressors' attempts to fight the Shandong Army in a bloody battle.

After much deliberation, the Japanese base camp had no choice but to "cut off its wrists" and reluctantly abandoned the county towns of Putai County, Gaoyuan County, Qingcheng County, Qidong County, and Zouping County in the plains. Before withdrawing, the Japanese not only destroyed the city but

All supplies were moved away, important defenses were blown up, and the original Yellow River defense line was completely destroyed.

After the Shandong Group Army settled in, Jiang Qiang immediately dispatched a large number of construction engineering teams to repair and reinforce the troops. After half a year of high-intensity construction, these newly recovered counties now have complete city defenses and air defense bunkers, as well as county towns.

The road network is also connected.

In addition, the Yellow River defense line outside Putai County has also been repaired and reinforced. The Shandong Army Group has now formed a confrontation with the Japanese army on the north bank across the river. On June 9, 1938, after the Huayuankou breach, the Yellow River water quickly drained along the Jialu River.

The next day, there was a heavy rain in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. The water volume of the Yellow River increased sharply. The Huayuankou breach was washed away. At the same time, the blocked Zhaokou was also washed away by the flood. After the two currents of Zhaokou and Huayuankou merged,

, the Jialu River began to overflow, and the overflowing river broke the Longhai Railway and flowed mightily to southeastern Henan. Along the Jialu River, Ying River, and Wohe River, it entered the Huaihe River. The water overflowed and the victims were everywhere. From this, the Yellow River changed its course, and the Yellow River entered the sea through the Huaihe River.

.

Due to the diversion of the main stream of the Yellow River, the original course of the Yellow River in Shandong was several hundred meters wide, but now it is less than a hundred meters wide. However, the areas where the river bed is exposed are still very muddy and are not suitable for heavy tanks to drive directly through. "

We have the natural danger of the Yellow River to the north, and the mountainous area with complex terrain to the south. If we want to go further, we have to think of a way!"

Looking at the river in front of him and the Japanese defense positions and forts on the opposite side, Jiang Qiang muttered with a headache: "If you have any good ideas or opinions, please feel free to put them forward."

Before the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Fuju built extremely strong defense lines on both sides of the Yellow River. Han Fuju knew that the Shandong Plain was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was difficult to confront the Japanese army in this plain, so he did it long ago.

Well, the worst-case scenario is to use the natural dangers of the Yellow River to confront and compete with the Japanese.

However, the plan did not change as quickly as it did. Han Fuju led his direct troops to fight several bloody battles with the Japanese army, and then he was shocked to find that the Third Route Army he had spent countless efforts to build was no match for the Japanese. Therefore, he was initially unwilling to fight for everything.

Han Fuju, who was wealthy, used this excuse to abandon the natural dangers of the Yellow River, the provincial capital Jinan, and the Taishan defense line, and retreated directly to several small counties in southwestern Shandong to survive.

Han Fuju blew up the Yellow River railway bridge before leaving, but did not cause large-scale damage to the defenses on both sides of the Yellow River. As soon as Han Fuju left, the Japanese launched a massive attack and captured most of Shandong in a short period of time. The Japanese gathered heavy troops and launched a massive attack.

Besieging Jiang Qiang's headquarters, intending to annihilate this thorn in the flesh in one fell swoop and break the backbone of China's anti-Japanese forces.

Jiang Qiang fought with his back to the wall, preparing for the worst and fighting the Japanese army to the end. In the end, relying on the fortifications he had painstakingly built for many years and the bloody battles of the soldiers, he severely damaged the Japanese army and defended the anti-Japanese forward base. Later, the Shandong Group Army rapidly grew and gradually turned from defense to offense.

The anti-Japanese base area was expanded and large areas of lost territory were recovered continuously, which greatly increased the pressure on the Japanese 12th Army stationed in Shandong.

The Twelfth Army, which was responsible for besieging the Shandong Group Army, could only turn around and focus its defense on the defense line on the north bank of the Yellow River, the Taishan defense line, the defense line along the canal, and the mountain fortress in southeastern Shandong. In a year or two, the little devils spent their lives fighting for their lives.

A large amount of manpower and material resources not only carried out large-scale reconstruction and reinforcement of the original defense line fortifications, but also added countless new mountain fortresses that were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In particular, the coastal defense line opposite the Yellow River is like an indestructible Maginot Line of Defense. It not only has three semi-permanent trenches lined up in a straight line, but also is dotted with countless permanent defensive bunkers and forts.

In particular, the terrain on both sides of the Yellow River is high in the north and low in the south. The Japanese army's position on the other side of the Yellow River was higher than ours, occupying a considerable geographical advantage.

In order to build the north coast defense line, the Japanese forcibly requisitioned more than 500,000 strong laborers in Shandong. Under long-term and high-intensity labor, more than 5,000 migrant workers died from injuries and diseases!

The defense line on the south bank in front of him was a flesh-and-blood fortification built up by the accumulation of countless innocent corpses! Wang Qiang put down his telescope, pondered for a moment and then spoke first: "General Officer, the little Japs really took great pains to contain and besiege us! In the past, Governor Han wanted to prevent the Japs from invading.

Shandong built fortifications on both sides of the Yellow River, of course the focus was on the south bank!

Now, the little devil has turned around and focused his defense on the south bank. The scene in front of him can only be described as thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river!" Yun Qichang nodded in agreement and said: "Yes.

These defenses on the other side alone are enough for us to drink! Even if we carpet bomb with aircraft and heavy artillery first, it will probably be difficult to effectively destroy them, not to mention that heavy equipment cannot directly cross the river and attack them with infantry alone.

, the cost of casualties may be unbearable!”

Wang Qiang and Gu Liangmin are senior generals of the Third Route Army, and naturally know the Yellow River defense line in front of them very well, because they have been stationed here for a long time before.

Although the Yellow River's original course from Shandong to the sea has lost its majestic momentum due to the breach of the Huayuankou embankment, the river is still dozens of meters wide, and the defensive advantages on both sides are still there.

On the contrary, the river water has become significantly shallower, and the exposed riverbed on the south bank has turned into a tidal flat and muddy land hundreds of meters wide. This further limits the ability of landing ships to transport heavy equipment directly to the other side for beach landing! Therefore, Wang Qiang and Gu

The good people shook their heads when they saw it, and were not optimistic about crossing the river from the front at all, because it was really not cost-effective!

Not to mention that the Japanese army on the other side was well-armed, well-trained, and tenacious in combat. Even if they were the former Third Army, they would still have to pay a huge price in casualties.

At this time, Chen Zhengnian pointed to the looming bridge in the upstream direction: "Main Block, the Japanese have repaired the bombed Yellow River Railway Bridge, so why can't we make a surprise attack and seize this railway bridge?"

?”

"I'm afraid it won't work, right?" "The Japs are not that stupid, right?" "Yes, the Japs have not only built a large number of permanent defenses, but are also heavily guarded, making it difficult to break through from the front." "Even if we can chew through all these hard bones.

Come down, but before occupying the railway bridge, the Japs will definitely blow it up..."

As soon as Chen Zhengnian finished speaking, a large group of people couldn't help but shake their heads, because they had all had such an idea in their hearts, but upon closer inspection, they found that this ideal was full of reality, and the possibility of successfully seizing the railway bridge was basically zero.

Chen Zhengnian did not give up, and continued: "We have a helicopter brigade and an airborne regiment. If we move fast enough, it is still possible to seize the bridge before the Japanese bomb the bridge!" Li Jinglin quickly added: "No.

Wrong, our airborne troops are confident and capable of completing this mission!

As long as the commander-in-chief gives the order, we can carry out destructive bombing on the Japanese positions, and in a short period of time, we can launch an airborne regiment of 3,000 people to occupy the Yellow River Railway Bridge until the main forces successfully join forces!"

Since the establishment of the airborne regiment, Li Jinglin has really spent no time in this aspect. Nowadays, not only can helicopters be used for airdrops, but paratroopers can also be directly used for airdrops by airplanes.

Li Jinglin had already tested the new tactics and training results with actual combat, and immediately stood up for Chen Zhengnian's proposal. "If this is the case, this plan seems to be feasible!" "Well, the key to this tactic is to be fast, accurate and ruthless.

, We must defeat the little Japanese with lightning speed!" "Yes, frontal attacks must be fought quickly, otherwise even if the airborne regiment pays a heavy price, it will be difficult to prevent the Japanese army from blowing up the bridge!"

"If we can completely capture the bridge, it will be an excellent offensive fulcrum for us." Wang Qiang, Gu Liangmin and others were all in a state of thinking. Everyone knew the important military role of such a cross-river railway bridge, and everyone wanted to make a surprise attack.

Success. "Your idea is very good, but the time is not yet ripe! We are here today mainly to inspect and survey the site as a complete preparation!"

Jiang Qiang has also thought about this plan of crossing the river and going north, but the possibility is also very low. The little devil is not stupid. Knowing that he has a large number of highly maneuverable helicopters, he will definitely guard against this move.

To be honest, Jiang Qiang is really not in a hurry to go find the Japs right now, because that will only attract the Japs' hatred and attention like crazy, causing the Japs to use all their strength to beat him earlier. Jiang Qiang is not a hot-blooded guy.
